About Me

  • About Me: Greetings earthlings, my name is Zach. I don't like labels because I am many things. Think of Leonardo Da Vinci as a music-loving hippie. That's the best way I can describe myself. I'm a freethinking pacifist and a renaissance man. I'm currently in love with the most beautiful girl on earth, and her name is Music. I'm a sensitive person, but I guess that's why I'm an artist. I've been through a lot of tough times these past five years, but I believe everything happens for a reason. While I didn't know it then in high school, the tough times only made me stronger and helped me develop my talents as an artist even further. If you want to chat, let's chat. I love meeting new people. Don't be shy, send me an AIM. There's lots more to me besides being really, really, ridicoulously good-looking. ; )
